Innuos PHOENIX NET Audiophile-grade Network Switch - Silver
The Innuos PHOENIX NET is a high-end audiophile network switch designed specifically to enhance music streaming systems. Built around a focus on noise reduction, clock precision, clean power and vibration control, it helps deliver a cleaner, more stable Ethernet signal. By improving signal purity, it aims to produce clearer, more detailed and natural-sounding digital audio playback.
High-Purity Network
The PhoenixNET is the realization of Innuos' philosophy of simplicity and signal purity applied to the network switch. Having started with improvements to the Ethernet ports' clock on their flagship Statement, Innuos has now brought the concept to a network switch design that focuses exclusively on audio use for musical details that stand out, a blacker background, better instrument separation and realism.
Low-Noise Design
Built to minimize Network Switch noise, the PhoenixNET features a Simpler 100mbps network switch chip resulting in lower operating noise floor compared to Gigabit, just the right amount of individually shielded, high-quality ethernet ports soldered directly to the board with no ethernet activity lights as blinking LEDs introduce considerable electrical noise and EMI absorption at the right places so that interference produced can be captured before influencing other components.
Precision Clocking
Using the same 3ppb 25MHz OCXO oscillator as used in the Statement, individually powered by its own linear power supply and connected directly to the network switch chip, avoiding precision losses from using external master clocks.
Dedicated Linear Power
Two independent STATEMENT-grade linear power supplies with Mundorf Caps to power individually the OCXO clock and the mainboard, keeping the power path short with less opportunity for EMI contamination.
